Today I've been a programmer for 17 years, 17 days. I think I've passed my 10,000 hours a few times over, so I'm an expert. You could be forgiven for thinking I can conquer any problem instantly. I can't. I still get my backside handed to me daily.

When I started designing systems, it was mostly to scratch an itch I had. To do a thing I couldn't believe was not provisioned for in the software I use, and I could get my head around. It was exciting and empowering to make edits from trivial colour changes, to non-trivial additional & alternate behaviours, UI's, even systems.

This friday I made a few things I think are cool. One was a Dockerfile for a piece of software called indielogin, the other was a Heroku deploy button for the same software. The indielogin project is a part of the Indieweb which I recently found. I've never used the indielogin software, so took this as a learning opportunity.
